486 Battle, the pain is so severe that I can't breathe

Su Wenqing finally witnessed Feng Qingchen's stubbornness. No matter how he persuaded her or explained the interests involved, Feng Qingchen refused to back down. She insisted on curing Cui Haoting's illness, standing on Cui Haoting's side, and participating in the internal strife of the Cui family.

"Feng Qingchen, you are treating yourself as a target. You think your death is not enough?" Su Wenqing pointed at Feng Qingchen, his fingers trembling.

Feng Qingchen smiled indifferently. Too many lice won't itch, too many debts won't worry her. There are so many people who want to kill her, so adding another Cui family is nothing.

Besides, the people in the Cui family who want her dead are only a part of the people who have conflicts of interest with Cui Haoting. After she made such a high-profile announcement, other members of the Cui family will definitely take action. If the person behind the scenes wants to touch her, he has to consider whether the other members of the Cui family agree.

Su Wenqing was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and his throat was smoking. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water: "Feng Qingchen, your family's hospitality is getting worse and worse."

Su Wenqing picked up the cup and started to drink, but as soon as he took a sip, his face changed and wrinkled. Su Wenqing wanted to swallow it, but the taste in his mouth was really bad, and with a "puff", all the tea sprayed out.

Fortunately, Feng Qingchen reacted quickly and grabbed a pillow to block it in front of him, otherwise the tea would have sprayed all over Feng Qingchen's face.

"You are so dirty." Feng Qingchen wrote on the white paper.

"Pah, pah, pah." Su Wenqing looked everywhere for water, trying to relieve the strange taste in his mouth, but found that there was no water in Feng Qingchen's house, so he could only spit desperately.

"How dare you say I'm dirty? Who else would do this like you, pouring medicine into the teapot? Do you want to kill people?" Su Wenqing was so depressed today that he was going crazy.

After Bu Jingyun left, Feng Qingchen's safety fell on his head. After finally dealing with a lot of chores, he heard the news that Feng Qingchen was using him as bait to lure out the mastermind. He rushed over without stopping, wanting to dissuade Feng Qingchen from doing so, but Feng Qingchen refused to persuade him.

Today, nothing went well. Su Wenqing was so angry that he sat on the chair and gasped for breath. He did not have the bearing of a rich young man at all.

Feng Qingchen picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "That is the medicine for me to drink, but no one asked you to drink it, you poured it yourself, if there is nothing else, you can leave.

I will never compromise on the Cui family's affairs. If they can assassinate me once, they can assassinate me twice. I hate having my life threatened. Instead of being on guard every day, I might as well take the initiative.

Although I, Feng Qingchen, am timid and cautious, I am not a cowardly and incompetent person. If I don't fight back after they bullied me to this extent, I would be truly incompetent. If the Cui family wants to fight, then let them fight. I, Feng Qingchen, am not afraid."

"Sister, you are not afraid, but I am. Do you know how dangerous this is? Where is the Cui family and how much power they have? It's all a mystery. Even the emperor doesn't dare to run into the Cui family easily." Su Wenqing was so anxious that she even called out "sister".

"The Cui family has been living in seclusion. Now that they have reappeared this time, it means they are anxious. There is no need to worry." Feng Qingchen picked up the pen and wrote.

Su Wenqing sighed. Feng Qingchen was just like Lan Jiuqing. They seemed easy to talk to, but once they made a decision, no one could change it. Su Wenqing had no choice but to persuade Feng Qingchen to be careful.

"Qingchen, I can't do anything about you standing with Cui Haoting and declaring war on the other side, so I ask you to pay attention to your own safety. If something happens to you, Jiuqing will bury me alive." He didn't want to become the second Bu Jingyun.

Uh... thinking of Lan Jiuqing, Feng Qingchen hesitated. Just when Su Wenqing thought that Feng Qingchen would give up the idea of ​​taking risks because of Lan Jiuqing, Feng Qingchen picked up the pen and wrote: "Tell Jiuqing for me that I will pay attention to safety and tell him not to worry. I have secret guards protecting me. Although those secret guards are not very good, they should be more cautious after this incident."

Lan Jiuqing should know about the secret guards, as he had sneaked in several times before.

Actually, it was her own carelessness. The Ninth Prince and Lan Jiuqing had both sneaked into her room. If these two could avoid the secret guards and imperial guards, then certainly others could do it as well.

When Su Wenqing saw Feng Qingchen saying that the secret guards were not good enough, he did not think much about it and immediately explained: "Qingchen, don't worry, Jiuqing has already replaced the secret guards around you. This batch is definitely stronger than the previous batch, and it is guaranteed that you will not be put in danger again."

Feng Qingchen was startled, and his hand holding the pen tightened. Then he acted as if nothing had happened and quickly wrote: "Are the secret guards around me arranged by Jiuqing?"

She thought that these secret guards were arranged by the Ninth Prince because he was concerned about her safety, but she didn't expect... she overestimated her position in the Ninth Prince's heart.

Feng Qingchen's eyelids moved slightly, and he revealed a bitter smile, secretly cursing himself for being too greedy, thinking that he would be different after a night of indulgence.

She is still herself, and the Ninth Prince is of course still the Ninth Prince.

Su Wenqing sensed something was wrong, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only nod: "Yes, yes, yes, Jiuqing was afraid that you would be in danger, so he arranged a group of secret guards to protect you. The previous group of secret guards made such a big mistake, and they have been punished and sent back for retraining. Although the secret guards around you are on a mission for the first time, I can guarantee that their skills are absolutely first-class."

Feng Qingchen looked gloomy, and the smile on his face was a little forced. He lowered his head and wrote on the white paper: "Thank Jiuqing for me. I'm tired and want to rest."

"Qingchen, that..." Su Wenqing cursed inwardly. Everything went wrong today. He had good intentions but ended up with something worse.

Feng Qingchen ignored Su Wenqing, pulled the quilt over him, lay down, and closed his eyes, making it clear that he didn't want to talk anymore.

Su Wenqing had a bitter face, looked at Feng Qingchen deeply, then turned and left.

Even if he wanted to explain, he didn't know how. He couldn't tell Feng Qingchen that Jiuqing and the Ninth Prince were actually the same person, and Jiuqing's arrangement was the same as the Ninth Prince's arrangement.

Alas...it was all his fault for speaking too quickly and pushing the credit of the secret guards onto Jiuqing.

Ninth Uncle, I'm sorry!

Su Wenqing stood at Feng Qingchen's door and bowed in the direction of the Ninth Prince's Mansion to express his apology.

"Huff, huff." The Ninth Prince, who was handling official business in the study, hummed twice in a row. The pen in his hand shook, spilling ink onto the document he had just written.

Balls of black ink spread out on the paper. The official business was abandoned. The Ninth Prince put down his pen, crumpled up the document and threw it aside. He gathered his clothes and rubbed his sore wrist. He looked into the distance to relieve the fatigue of his eyes.

He hadn't seen Feng Qingchen for five days. The Ninth Prince had to recuperate during the day and could not go out. He sent people from the mansion to check on her, but they couldn't see Feng Qingchen either. Most of them were sent away by Sun Sixing.

At night... he wanted to go, but Feng Qingchen stayed by her side all the time, and the guards from Prince Su's mansion also moved into the inner courtyard and took turns patrolling every twelve hours, so he had no way of sneaking in.

The Ninth Prince finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. The maids he sent out all sided with Feng Qingchen, treating him as an outsider and showing no intention of making concessions for him. They were so close yet so far away...
